In the more-or-less-abandoned program I was trying, I only popped a 
window if the cut text was all of (a) in Japanese, (b) different from
the last time it found anything, (c) in the dictionary. Also I hade a 
little two-button Enable/Disable panel which made it turn off 
semi-permanently.

I think it'd be *very* popular. Maybe I'll blow the dust of my X Library
books.
